I have both that one and the two piece and love them both. The three piece is a little less "shocky" to my horse, but offers finger tip control and a the motion of gathering him with this bit is real smooth. If he gets a little pushy I will use the two piece. They are great bits with a great feel....at least they feel good in my hands.
I use the 2 peice smooth mouth on my mare for tuning. I really want the 3 peice like you have shown but my local store only sold the 2 peice at the time so I settled for that. She likes it and she doesn't like a lot of bits. I use it with a leather curb strap rather than the chain as she is senstive. I run her in a smooth mouth o ring but this bit really helps me during the week to keep her light and listening.

I was able to get this one on Amazon for $45, if you are looking. :) I am interested in how this will work on a mare I have that is also very sensitive. Maybe this will be my go to for everything!
